To rename a kernel, you edit Makefile at the root directory of your linux kernel. > My uname-r is "2.4.20-xfs". -EXTRAVERSION = -xfs +EXTRAVERSION = -something-else > >From http://www.kernel.org/ I fetched 2.4.20 and built > a new drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.o. > > If I copy what I built to > /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/ then modprobe chokes > via: > > ...: couldn't find the kernel version the module was > compiled for > ...: insmod ... failed > ...: insmod usb-storage failed > > I presume I've built a 2.4.20 module and not a > 2.4.20-xfs module, ouch. How did you build your usb-storage.o drivers? Make sure you specify the include files when compiling (i.e. -I/usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/include). Make sure you specify -DMODULE too. > How do I build a module to try loading into whatever > kernel? Just compile, and load it. If you have problems with versionings, turn off modversions in your kernel. That should work.
